3: dolphins do not sleep with one eye open. in fact, they don't even "sleep" at all. they rest half their brain at a time so they can remain alert and won't drown.
6: tigers do have striped fur. that would be stupid. its skin is striped AS WELL as its fur. if you pull out a clump of fur, some would be black and some would be orange.
7: no, zebras are black with white stripes. their skin is pigmented black, as well as their fur. the white is the areas where they lack pigmentation.
13: a belcher's sea snake is the most venomous MARINE snake, but the title of "most venomous snake" is shared with the inland taipan. however, neither of these snakes are the most deadly. the most deadly snake is the saw-scaled viper.
17: turkeys do not look up and drown during a rainstorm. this is just a flat-out stupid myth.

No, turkeys actually do look up during a rainstorm. My dad used to live in Texas with his parents who were ranchers/farmers. They raised turkeys and my dad has told me stories of how he had to put them in a building whenever a rainstorm came along.
